As the two events took place only minutes apart and the basis of the charges was how drunk she appeared to be, then there are 3 possible outcomes. Both guilty, both not guilty, or only MacDonald guilty. My basis for the 3rd possibility is that the judge referred in sentencing to CCTV footage at which only MacDonald was present and would have been aware of her staggering etc. Anything Evans was supposed to be aware of, MacDonald must also been aware of, because he was there at the same time. MacDonald was at least complicit in whatever Evans did.
